Comparing MeshCentral 2 to ScreenConnect

Just posted a blog on latest MeshCentral news. One thing I wanted to do for a while now is document the internals of MeshCentral. You may need for technical competence, but the first version of the document is here. - Enjoy.

Awesome. feel free to post here, too. Just use the "Self Promotion" group. Lots of traffic and visibility here.

@Ylian : are there any plans at this time to allow one-time "support sessions" instead of "access sessions". Used for IT support of computers that a) don't have an access session already configured b) users (rightfully) don't have administrator access? (e.g. ScreenConnect)

That's been there, we've been using it for a while. Using the same "agent", but without installation.

Published Meshcentral v0.2.6-j with support for two-factor login using Google Authentication or any compatible app. Also, if an SMTP server is setup, the server will now require email verification before you can create a device group. This way, users don't start adding devices without a password recovery option. Lastly, did a bunch of improvements when the server is running with Windows domain authentication.

This way, when the server restarts/updates, you don't need to log back in each time. By default, the session secret is generated on server start so everyone needs to login again because browser cookies can't be decoded anymore.

@scottalanmiller 0.2.6-k fixes a nasty bug in the MeshAgent that caused data corruption when lots of data was flowing at a high rate. The big deal about that release is that you can now do RDP over the Internet using the ClickOnce application. You need Windows on both sides to do it + Use IE or a ClickOnce add-in for FireFox/Chrome. Hit the "RDP" link at the bottom of a device page to trigger it.
